My trip had been 10 months in the making; I was planned, prepared and organized to the letter (I am a stickler, I can't help it!) Then the actual doing - the filling in time between my organised points - was spontaneous and random and great!!!
It was really thanks to the people I came here to see, and is why I adore them so much. There is always things to do with the people you love seeing, even if is just strolling through the city, chatting over a meal or going out for drinks and dancing...
With Emma, it was so great to experience her 'new' life here, visiting the places and people she now has in her day-to-day. And then we still did things together she hadn't done before either, like visit Brighton or dance salsa in Camden.
Introducing Em to my friends and family from Austria and Germany was really wonderful; and I hope they can have a friendship in their own right. It's nice when two parts of your life meet, and get along so well :) Introducing her to, and sharing stories of my life when I lived in Salzburg was so fun. And like Em in London, I did new things And learnt new things about Salzburg that I didn't know while living there... It really was a unique visit and one I won't forget.
And so, as this chapter of my life and travels comes to a timely end, I can only be so thankful for having he opportunity to see these people go really do enrich my life, in places that make me feel happy, rested and rejuvenated.
London, you were exciting.
Rhodes, you were relaxing.
Athens, I still love you...
Vienna, you were magical.
Salzburg, you are special.
Munich, you were delicious!
Auckland, I'm coming home :)
